The truth behind the William and Kate affair rumors is finally revealed, confirming suspicions
New revelations shed light on the longstanding rumors surrounding the royal couple
The British royal family has always captured the public’s imagination, and Prince William’s relationship with Kate Middleton is no exception.
From the moment they met as students at St. Andrews University in Scotland, the media was buzzing with stories about their romance. But behind the fairytale, Kate faced challenges that weren’t always easy to deal with.
While dating William, Kate often found herself the target of his friends’ jokes. Unlike William, who was born into royalty, Kate came from a more ordinary background. Before they started their successful business, Party Pieces, Kate’s parents worked regular jobs—her mother was even an air hostess for British Airways. Some of William’s aristocratic friends mocked Kate, with one even making fun of her mother’s job by saying “doors to manual” when Kate entered a nightclub in West London.
However, Kate didn’t let these comments get to her. Despite the cruel remarks, she never lost her temper or reacted negatively. Those who know her describe Kate as strong and resilient.
William and Kate both graduated in 2005—William with a degree in geography and Kate with one in art history. Although their relationship seemed perfect, they hit a rough patch in 2007 and broke up. The split made headlines, and many speculated about the reasons behind it. Fortunately, they reconciled and eventually got married on April 29, 2011.
In 2019, rumors started circulating that William might have had an affair with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, who was also a friend of Kate’s. When Kate confronted William, he reportedly laughed it off, insisting the rumors weren’t true. Royal expert Richard Kay called these stories “fake news” and said that both sides considered taking legal action but decided against it due to the lack of evidence.
Rose Hanbury has deep connections with the royal family. Her grandmother was one of Queen Elizabeth’s bridesmaids, and Rose herself lives near William and Kate. The two families have even gone on double dates in the past. Despite the rumors, there has been no evidence of any conflict between Kate and Rose, and they remain friends.
Rose now works as a political researcher and is married to David, the Marquess of Cholmondeley. They have three children, and one of their sons served as a Page of Honor during King Charles’ coronation in 2023.
When the affair rumors spread, both families were confused and upset. They’ve never had to deal with such baseless accusations before, and friends say the situation has been tough on everyone involved. However, the families continue to support each other and remain close.
In fact, Kate and Rose were spotted together at a music festival recently, enjoying themselves with friends and proving that the rumors didn’t affect their bond.
Despite the ups and downs, William and Kate have remained strong together, and the rumors haven’t shaken their relationship. The couple continues to focus on their family and royal duties, with the support of their close friends and loved ones.
